Li Chengqian did not go on the expedition with the team. In addition to being with his pregnant wife, there was actually another reason.
That is the world of Datang...
After all the previous events and that assassination, Li Chengqian has deeply realized how powerful Jianghu is.
Of course, this is not because he is afraid that he will face assassination in the future.
It's because he discovered that Jianghu has development potential that is not available elsewhere.
If used properly, this can become another talent pool for Datang.
With this idea in mind, Li Chengqian took Yuan Yuan to see Young Master Qi on the next day.
…
Let’s talk about the young masters being together.
If we talk about earlier times, Gongzi Qi still believed that he was the native emperor of the south.
So after seeing Li Shimin's true methods, this guy completely recognized the reality.
Even though Young Master Qi has been running around in the world for half his life, he has never seen such energy.
What's more, he has never seen so many top masters in his long life...
And he is also a smart man.
I know that I have done something wrong, and I know that if I don't think of a way out, I will be doomed.
Therefore, he directly approached Li Shimin's son, Li Chengqian.
Joining if you can't beat them may be very embarrassing and useless in the eyes of some passionate young people.
But in the face of life and death, what is the use of being cowardly and shameless?
Can it help you block the knife that is about to fall on your neck?
And it was only after meeting with Li Chengqian and obtaining the jade pendant that Prince Qi was able to survive the pursuit of Eunuch Zhou.
Now, he has also been arranged by Li Chengqian to live in the house of his teacher, Li Ji.
When he and Yuan Yuan arrived, Li Ji happened to be teaching his youngest son Li Siwen to read.
Hearing the sound of this little guy reading and reciting poems, Li Chengqian also laughed out loud.
He went straight forward and rubbed Li Siwen's little head and said: "The last time I came here, Siwen was shaking when he walked. I didn't expect it now." They can all recite poems..."
Hearing this, Li Ji also smiled slightly and said: "With His Highness Zhuyu in front of you, who dares to neglect his homework?"
The appearance of Li Chengqian actually changed many people and many things.
Just like this enlightenment education.
Before Li Chengqian appeared, anyone who started enlightenment at the age of five or six was basically considered a genius.
A person who can recite one or two famous poems at the age of eight or nine, and can write an article or something in his teens can even be regarded as a genius among geniuses, a figure like a future zaifu.
But after Li Chengqian appeared, all these became commonplace.
After all, he memorized the Analects of Confucius when he was eight years old.
It was during that period that the Ten Paths Theory, a political theory of ancient times and striking modernity, was proposed.
What's even more terrifying is that this guy went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of eleven, and led the troops to pacify the Northeast at the age of twelve.
All these things are challenging modern people's values and outlook on life.
So much so that now, many parents start instilling theoretical knowledge into their children's education at the age of five, and when the children are seven or eight years old, they send them to a master to learn martial arts.
Regarding this phenomenon, Li Chengqian can only say that he feels sorry for the children of today.
But he couldn't change it.
After all, this is reality.
As long as there is one successful case, others will rush to imitate it.
In the eyes of others, it was because of Li Shimin's early education of Li Chengqian that he became so outstanding.
But how do these people know how much suffering those so-called early education will cause children to suffer...
Also thinking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Li Siwen, who was only less than five years old, with a look of pity on his face.
It was my brother who harmed you...
However, Li Chengqian did not dwell on this matter for too long.
He looked up straight at Li Jidao
: "Teacher, is that person still in your house?"
"exist."
Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, you want to see him?"
"Um."
"I have something to ask him."
Li Chengqian said: "Can you please help me, teacher?"
"Your Highness, you're welcome."
After saying this, Li Ji waved his hand and called his servants, telling them to call the young master to come over.
While waiting for someone to summon Young Master Qi to come over.
Li Ji also asked people to bring tea, water and snacks, and even accompanied him personally.
To be honest, this is not the first time Li Chengqian has visited Li Ji's mansion.
But every time he came, he always felt a little bit deserted.
Li Ji was an honest official and did not participate in party disputes, let alone engage in some unclear affairs with his subordinates.
And his salary may be an astronomical figure to ordinary people.
But for the court officials of the Tang Dynasty, it was really not worth mentioning.
In the imperial court, almost no one does not have a side job.
Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji and others made a lot of money from Li Chengqian.
Not only does it have its own real estate shop, it also occupies a leading position in several industries.
But Li Ji didn't.
Almost all of his farm business was cashed in to provide subsidies to the orphans of his fallen brothers.
And all his expenses depended entirely on the salary from the imperial court and Li Shimin's rewards.
In this city of Chang'an, where land is at a premium, his little money is really worthless, and his life is inevitably extremely poor.
It's not that Li Chengqian doesn't want to help him, it's just that he always refuses.
But this time, Li Chengqian felt something was a little different.
Not only did the atmosphere in the house become more and more tense, he could even see a little loneliness in Li Ji.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian put down his tea cup and asked directly : "Teacher, is there something going on at home?"
"No."
Li Ji smiled, then looked at Li Chengqian with some confusion and said, "Why does your highness ask like this?"
"It's just a feeling."
"It feels like the teacher has something on his mind."
"So I couldn't help myself and asked for help."
Li Chengqian also said with a smile: "Teacher, you won't mind, right?"
"of course not."
"But, I really have nothing to worry about."
"If there is any..."
Li Ji looked to the east, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian finally saw the melancholy of Li Ji.
And in the final analysis, this matter is also related to him.
After all, because of his arrangement, many of the generals who followed Li Chongyi on this expedition were from princes and princes.
Cheng Huailiang is on the list, Qin Huaidao is on the list, Duan Zan is on the list, and Li Zhen, Li Ji's eldest son, who is considered to be of the same lineage as Li Chengqian's master, must also be on the list.
To put it bluntly, Li Ji misses his son.
And when he saw Li Chengqian, he would inevitably miss his son even more.
But Li Chengqian really had nothing to say about this.
He could only say: "Brother Zhen is the teacher's child, and he is extremely talented."
"And with his talent, he will definitely be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"But if you want to become a pillar, you must first accumulate merits and establish a foundation for yourself."
"Today, he is writing the first page of his merit book for the future."
"Teacher, don't worry about this. Brother Zhen will definitely live up to expectations and bring back honors for the teacher..."
After hearing this, the tension in Li Ji's heart also dissipated a lot.
He looked at Li Chengqian, pursed his lips and said: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I don't want Zhen'er to be rich and powerful. I just hope that he can share your worries for Your Highness in the future..."
